Also noted are Jimmy Foxx’s baseball training in Florida aiming to break Babe Ruth’s home run record, Gordon Cochran’s Tigers plans, and a Maryland basketball highlight involving Robert Snyder. A blizzard hits the region, halting travel and leaving downed poles and five foot drifts around Cumberland.
